The fire lasted all night. Caesar thought again and again. Finally, he didn''t choose to fight, but crawled quietly in the nest * * waiting for news.

    He had reason to suspect that the scouts and Ben were coming for themselves.

    The combat effectiveness of the Shiya clan is not secret at all. Whether it is master Sifu or a hundred soldiers, they have been openly exposed to outsiders.

    If the other party really wants to swallow the tribe, there is no need to send scouts to investigate, but send soldiers to surround the area quietly, and then launch an attack as quickly as possible.

    Well, there is only one reason for the other party to send scouts, which is to guess that there are other people behind the stone crow clan. I want to see the details before I try my best.

    "It''s that guy."

    Caesar suddenly thought of the young man, Roy Brando, who was the leader of the caravan in an unusual position.

    Among humans, only he has had in-depth contact with the stone crow clan, which may have such doubts.

    Therefore, in this case, in order to avoid being discovered by the other party''s "wizard''s eye" and other reconnaissance spells, Caesar chose to stay still that night.

    Sometimes, the unknown is more terrible than the sword. Before he knows the depth of the stone crow clan, Roy is unlikely to attack on a large scale and come up directly. Instead, he will choose to continue to send a small force to harass and test.

    Caesar could use this to erode Roy''s effective power step by step.

    At dawn, when the orcs dragged their tired bodies and gathered together with each other, he found that many soldiers had wounds, some even serious.

    "A total of 144 humans were killed."

    Gall bared his teeth and said, his right cheek was badly red and swollen, like being hammered by a hammer: "eighty of them carried hand crossbows and used the standard weapons you said."

    "These guys are more powerful than those adventurers. When we launch an attack unexpectedly, they can stabilize their position and form an effective counterattack. Twelve of our brothers are killed by swords and arrows." speaking later, Gal''s voice choked slightly.

    In fact, the war loss ratio has been quite fruitful, but those who died are tribal compatriots who get along day and night, and the orcs are inevitably depressed.

    "Go back to your own nest. It''s time to sleep and heal."

    Caesar gave orders to the orc soldiers. I don''t know when, he has taken over the dominant power very smoothly. After pacifying the soldiers, the black dragon turned to ask the Old Wizard: "if I guess right, the women of the tribe are not as weak as human beings. They can also take up arms when necessary."

    "Yes."

    The old wizard answered. His main purpose last night was to use magic to monitor the edge of the whole territory and prevent fish from escaping. Even as a great mage, he could not support such a heavy workload overnight. He described it as tired and haggard: "... But it''s hard for them to have the fighting power of men."

    The words were slightly hidden, mainly because he was worried that Caesar would send women to perform dangerous tasks.

    After all, even the elite soldiers suffered casualties in the first world war last night. If they were female orcs with weaker combat effectiveness, I''m afraid this number would have to be doubled.

    "Don''t worry."

    Caesar heard SIFE''s subtext and said gently: "women don''t need to fight for the time being. Let them be responsible for investigation. If they encounter the enemy, give priority to protecting their own safety and avoid it as much as possible."

    When both sides don''t know the depth of each other, the confrontation of intelligence investigation has become a very important part. If Roy can give priority to knowing Caesar''s existence and strength, he can quickly judge the situation to launch an attack.

    On the contrary, if Caesar took the lead in discovering the camp and commander of human forces, he could also formulate a decapitation plan and kill the enemy.

    War is not a child''s play. Speaking of it, black dragon is also the first time to encounter this situation and has no experience. He can only apply his knowledge to practical operation as much as possible, supplemented by extreme caution, be careful to be right, and strive to do the best he can.

    ……

    The sound of the forest lingers in my ears.

    The stream at the bottom of the valley flows and winds through the slate riverbed, and the sunlight is sparkling and fluctuating on the water surface. Under the tree, the war horses hissed softly, stretched their hooves and scraped the solid soil covered with dead leaves. The soldiers lowered their voices and played repressed jokes.

    From time to time, Roy heard the faint sound of the collision of long guns and the sliding of lock armour. This time, he took a thousand soldiers and has just crossed moster Grand Canyon.

    However, his face was not very good, because the investigators sent before had no news at all. Roy had a hunch that the soldiers had died in mangye, were found by the other party, and were swallowed up in one breath.

    Over time, facts have gradually confirmed this guess.

    "Interesting."

    Roy was playing with his family emblem. As a member of the Brando family, he was not worried about the death of 80 soldiers. What really surprised him was the decisiveness and cruelty shown by the other party in this confrontation.

    He once ordered that the soldiers who went to investigate should try to avoid conflict with the stone crow clan, and even retreat back if necessary. Their task was to see if there were abnormal creatures in and out of the orc tribe.

    Those stupid orcs can''t be aware of the danger without swords.

    There is only one possible reason why the stone crow clan will take the lead and brutally kill all people - that is, there is another person or highly intelligent creature among them. He (it) controls the stone crow clan, and then makes a ruthless and decisive move based on his own analysis and guess to strangle the possible threat in the cradle and show its power to potential enemies.

    Roy imagined the existence of the creature more than once, but sometimes wondered if he was fighting with the air, but now everything has been known.

    That creature must exist.

    "Interesting guy, what are you? Human? Goblin? Strange monster? Or... A dragon?"

    Roy laughed. The other party was very smart. He wiped out all his investigators at one fell swoop, leaving no one alive. As a result, he knew nothing about him.

    Next, if you continue to send people to test, you happen to be right in the arms of that guy, and you will be eroded and weakened by that guy step by step.

    But——

    Roy narrowed his eyes. What the other party didn''t know was that this was exactly the expression of his guilty heart. If he was really a fearless and powerful existence, he wouldn''t care about the scouts he sent. He would only let human soldiers wander around the stone crow clan. When his main force appeared, he exposed his fangs and ate them all in one breath.

    "That guy will never be too strong to accept."

    After reaching this conclusion, Roy acted vigorously and immediately began to give orders: "katus!"

    "Yes!"

    The trusted knight who had appeared before took two steps forward.

    "Take ten men and change horses to go to the Jackal clan and the dog headed clan, order them to prepare for battle and wait for news in the third forest area of mangye."

    "Yes!"

    The knight stroked his chest to listen to the order, clamped his horse''s belly, and ordered ten people to go with him.

    "No one else is allowed to leave the army, repair in place and set off again in half an hour." Roy drank a mouthful and turned over and dismounted: "at dawn two days later, we must reach mangye."
